Sam: That Siamese student seems a nice sort of person. Stan: Yes, serious, sensible – a bit insecure, perhaps. Eldest of six – the rest still at school. Sam: I see her sister sometimes. I saw her yesterday. Stan: Soft skin, silky voice, sleepy eyes, sort of slow, sexy smile. Sam: Sounds like Siew Sang. Stan: Yes. That’s it – Siew Sang. She’s so sweet. Sam: Waxing ecstatic, Stan? I must say, I strongly disapprove of senior staff taking fancies to innocent students. You’re supposed to be embracing serious linguistic research, not soft-skinned students! Most unsuitable. And silly, when you’re just starting to make a success of this place… Stan: For goodness’ sake, Sam. Who says I’m smitten? The kid’s sweet but still only 26. I shall be 60 in September!
